VOTE AS YOU DRINK, IS PLEA OF BUCKNER New Haven, Conn., Jan. 21. If the citizens of the United States would "vote as they drink and drink as they vote," the present prohibition situation would be relieved consider ably, in the opinion of United States Attorney Emory R. Buckner. of New York, expressed in an interview with the Yale Daily News. "The great burden today," Mr. Buckner said, "is that people may vote for prohibition or be in favor of it, because they think it will be of benefit to others, but they do not aid in its enforcement themselves. "If the citizens do not like prohi bition, they should not privately criticize or covertly seek to ham string law enforcement. They should, like true Americans, come out in the open and fight for the repeal of the 18th amendment or its modification." CARDINAL MERCTER HOLDS ON TO LIFE Brussels, Jan. 21.

Davis, Secretary of Labor, declared him self in favor of amending the United States Immigration Laws in several particulars to make them more humane and more profitable to the people of the United States. Adressing the Cincinnati Busi ness Men's Club, he said that he would make it possible for immi grants in the United States, who are separated from their families by the restriction of the quota law, to bring their families into the coun try. "This was evidently overlooked in the framing of the law," Mr. Davis said, "and yet common humanity and our own Interest demands that it be done It is not humane to have a man here and the family on the other side; and it is not profitable to have a man here sending his money overseas to support that fam ily." He declared himself as heartily in accord with the general idea of the quota law, but declared that it should be made more selective. He favored preferential ratings. "In some particulars the quota law should be made more rigid," said Mr. Davis. "I want the quota law extended to Mexico. Last year 90.000 Mexicans crossed into the United States. There was nothing to stop them. They were not sub jected to any of the tests that we apply at our seaports. There are now 500,000 Mexicans mixed in with our population between San Antonio and Los Angeles and they are a type that tend to lower the standard of living. "We must have more restrictive measures at our borders. Last year 10.000,000 crossed the Canadian border, back and forth, and 3,000, 000 crossed the Mexican border, back and forth. The American peo ple are entitled to the same protec tion at these borders that they are at the seaports." Mr. Davis sounded a note of op timism in regard to industrial and economic conditions when he de clared. "I can Bee two mighty good years immediately ahead of us."

Cardinal Mer cier, far from being fatigued by the earnest talks he has had with vis count Halifax, president of the Eng lish church union, and Queen Eliza beth actually seems to thrive under the stimulus of such visits. After Lord Halifax departure today, the cardinal began to write for the first time in many days, presumably con cerning the project of the union of Christian churches, which has been occupying his ever waking thoughts. The meeting of the cardinal and Lord Halifax this morning deeply moved all witnesses.
